MARBLE, the murderer of Corker, was
hanged At Lafayette last Friday. He insist.
cd until the last that he was an innocent
man but Il Is asserted that he confessed to
the attending priest that he was guilty.
Thepriest tod that the right man had been
hanged. The scene was like most hanging
scenes. The mans neck was broken,
and he lived several minutes, his pulse stop,
ping Its beats in fourteen minutes. Marble
was convicted on circumstantial evidence,
and some have doubted his guilt but Il Is
probable the right man fell with the scaffold.
His braggadocio spirit disgusted the few
who witnessed his execution.
Last Monday William II Hess, a prisoner
confined in the county Jail As Lafayette with
Maple signed and swore 10 statsnen, Of .
snfession made by MARBLE TO him while
they were both prisoners, on the day before
the execution. According 70 Il be. hia wife

All over the United States the fate of the
Chicago Anarchists condemned to death has
been watched with almost local interest
On Thursday afternoon Louis Lingg, one
of the condemned men, committed suicide
by taking dynamite cap placing 1t between
his teeth and lighting the fuse with candle,
his head being fearfulIy shattered. II Is
thought he had concealed the cap In his
hair, as he had been thoroughly searched
awhile before. The sentence of Fieldcn and
Schwab was commuted to imprisonment for
life. On Friday Spies, Parsons, Fischer and
Engel were at 1884 a. m. hanged by the
neck until dead. Just as the drop fell
Fischer said "Hurrah for Anarchy This Is
the happiest moment of my lifc." Spies
last words were, "There viii time come
when our silence will be more powerful
than the voices they are strangling to death
now" Engel's were, "Hurrah for Anarchy .
Parsons died with these words, "May l be
allowed to speak, will you let me speak, ,Sher.
if Matson. Let the voice of the people be
heard"
